It has been done, but needs completely stripping down and all the bores and holes blocking off, some of the caliper reconditioners offer it as an extra cost to the usual zinc or painted finish. Only worth doing if completely reconditioning the calipers though.

If you want to change the colour give Ian Godney, Godspeed brakes a call.

i am overhauling the calipers with new seals and new pistons etc, never gave it a thought about powder coating until today when i dropped them off to be blasted so i could re do and re paint them and the guy there said about coating them aslong as i stripped them down completley, which got me to thinking would they look and last longer powder coated over painting them

Because he offers a refurbishment service.. Just an idea. He's done a set of Brembo's for me before and the finish/quality is amazing.
